What does he charge for doing it?

Yeah did the belt myself! I was thinking CLCM. Allot of people have told me they are spot on.

It's all good tipex is from a previouse offender. Was timed up using crank pin, horse shoe and cam locking tool! ;) All done properly.

So I got allot done on the car last week. First thing I got done was the timing belt and dephaser pulley. Wasn't as bad as everyone made out. While I was there I replaced all the engine mounts and uprated the dogbone with the powerflex kit. next thing I did was change the plugs. I found...
